Since I shuttered my Prim Patterns 'n Handmades blog down and put my freebie patterns on this blog, I thought I'd share the results of my Bunny Pattern Challenge from 2010. The bunny template is on the freebie page - no directions included, this challenge was to 'do your own thing'. Didn't these turn out wonderful? :)

This is Ms. Chocolate Bunny dressed in her finest Easter attire!

I made her out of muslin and then painted her a chocolate brown. She has painted eyes and lt.pink embroidered nose & mouth. Her dress is a pink floral cotton with a Battenburg collar and apron. I've placed a rusty pin holding a lace & rose on her collar and a rusty heart on her apron. She is holding a mini tin bucket that I've grungied up. In the bucket are 3 fabric eggs nestled in some Spanish moss.

She wrote: I had your post sent to me from one of my blog friends, and had to give it a whirl! When my father passed a few years ago, I took some of his gardening flannel shirts. I never knew what I would do with them,but when I saw your bunny, I knew I finally found what I wanted to use them for. This is made from 2 of the shirts, and I will also make a couple more for family members. What a great pattern! I decided not to add a face, but let the shirts speak for themselves, and added the butterfly applique as they are our symbol for Dad.

Patti wrote : I used a coffee and vanilla stained osnaburg for the body. She has an appliqued wool nose, black button eyes, and her mouth and whiskers are black pearl cotton. Her dress is a paisley print cotton in shades of tan, aqua and sage green. Her loons are made from a green cotton print that coordinates with the dress. I attached a vintage white button to the bodice of the dress. She is holding a matching drawstring bag with "Jelly Bean Seeds" embroidered to the front. She has a tiny matching bow attached to one ear. I primmed her up even more by applying more of the coffee stain to both her body and the clothing.

Val shared her onion skin dyeing tip:

I started off by dyeing my unbleached cotton with onion skin dye.I just stewed my onion skin in water, just enough to nicely cover the skins and let it simmer till I liked the color. I made enough to fill a big mason jar so I put my dye in freezer containers and froze the remainder for later use. I don't know if you've ever tried this but is fun, fun, fun!!! I'm going to try red onion skin next and I imagine you can get stain from beets and blueberries as well, the possibilities are endless. The onion skins gave my fabric a beautiful yellowish brown color.

Val used scraps from her sewing stash and painted on front teeth. Whiskers are strong thread.

ALL the bunnies are FABULOUS!!!!!!!! Makes me want to try my hand at this too!!!! JUST IN TIME FOR EASTER!!!!! :) Thank you for sharing!!!!! I'm going to browse around your blog now!!!!!!! :) MAY have to subscribe!!!!!
